We were delighted to see so many competitors using PUSH Tampers in their WBC 2019 routines, including Greek champion Michalis Dimitrakopoulos and Canadian champion Cole Torode, who finished second and third-placed respectively.

"PUSH is helping me a lot with my consistency and my extractions"

That's the verdict of Chile Barista Champion Juan 'Kamo' Camilo, who was sent a commemorative PUSH to mark his success in the 2019 tournament, repeating his 2018 feat.

With over five years’ experience in the industry through various roles including barista, head barista, roaster and trainer, Daria Pinchuk (representing Single Step Coffee) brings a wealth of talent to the 2019 World Barista Championships.

In their first ever Restaurant Risk Report, a US-based workers compensation insurer concluded that the cafes and coffee shops were the “most dangerous” places to work in the restaurant industry, in terms of number of workdays lost to injury.

"My shifts as a barista were really painful because of the constant tamping and “bar-dynamics” so working with the PUSH has completely changed my bar shifts.”
